Message from the District Governor Wally

Seasons Greetings!

Fellow Lions,

As most of you know, we lost a very important part of our cabinet with the passing of 1st Vice District Govern, Lion Jeff Rackovan. A special meeting of PDGs and PCCs was held to select a replacement. After much discussion, Lion Kelly Rackovan has been appointed 1st Vice District Governor for the remainder of the year. Lion Kelly had held the position of Cabinet Secretary which will now be filled by Lion Sandee Marshall,
Wildwood lions club. We have lost many Lions this year and we need to keep them and their loved ones in our prayers.

As we stand at the mid-point in the LION year, our International President, A. P. Singh, encourages us to reflect on what we have accomplished, what have been our strong points and the need to strengthen our strategies in finishing out this Lions year.

Looking back over the last months, I have visited with many of our clubs and have learned many things about the wide diversity of ideas and outlooks. The many
different views and club priorities are what make us strong and flex able. Good ideas don’t always come prepackaged, sometimes they come from out while having a good meal with fellow lions. As I have travelled to the different clubs I am amazed at the
amount and diversity of talent and artistic ability within the Lion Family.

Membership is always a major topic when LCI sends out updated and informational packets. One aspect of membership that is of importance is RETENTION. I [encourage you], as club officers and committee chairs, to keep as many of your members engaged in club activities, making sure what they are doing is fun.

One World---One People----We Serve

Message from 2nd Vice District Governor - Phil

Fellow Lions,

It is that time of year that we need to step up for the people in our communities that could really use some help. Be it donating to a food pantry, donating to toys for tots, helping a neighbor decorate, or adopting a needy family. During our busy schedules, any time we can give to help any of the people that need it, will not only warm your heart, but hopefully show others what service and being part of the greatest service organization can mean. I hope everyone has a safe and joyous holiday.

Sincerely,

Lion Phil Karrer
2nd Vice District Governor
